Gunslinger + Gilgamesh + Pandora. I don't care as much for speed as I do for power.

On it's own, Gilgamesh is pretty much the ultimate ass-kicker. The damn thing can break a Scarecrow with a single fully charged hit, and with the exception of Draw, which I have only found useful a couple times, the rest of combos and the marvelously powerful Kick 13 are my favourite choice to end the life of anything on my way, sometimes including bosses. And don't even get me started on Swordmaster moves; two words, REAL IMPACT. That's all you need, and a bit of patience, to finish ANYTHING except for a Blitz (who only takes 3 real impacts anyway). Also, the fact that Gilgamesh's attacks can be just released, increasing the overall power of the hit, is just too cool if properly used.

As for Pandora, what can I say... slowest firearm, strongest shots. I only wish Pandora had three more things added in-game: a couple more forms, a not-so-hard lock-on feature and a wider range for regular attacks. The deal lock-on thing is that you cannot actually change direction of your body to track the locked enemy with your gun. I would understand you can't move Revenge (the laser cannon) around for how huge it is, but that you can't move Epidemic (the bow gun) tracking your enemy? a bit ridiculous.

Regardless of those, Pandora kicks an important amount of ass. And I mean important, like, REALLY important. With full disaster gauge and omen, you uncloak a Faust, take down Blitz's electricity and destroy Alto Angelo's shield. Also, Grief is perfect against big slowpants like Dagon, Bael and Berial. But the major deal is Pandora in PC game version, with super Dante. Oh god. That's the biger OVERKILL ever. Period. I mean, how would you like being able to take a DMD devil triggered Berial with ONE LITERAL HIT? I don't care what you'd like, we have an infinite Pandora!! Infinite omens, infinite Griefs, infinite Arguments!!!!! That's just marvelous to watch. You eventually get bored, but the first time is just too epic.
